“Best in town .. So good and flavorful.. Great service .. Everything about it was great.. Will definitely be going back..“

“Every time we show up , very accommodating,“

“Eat Taco Bell I’ve been to in a long time. We come visit family from IL and the ones around our home are all crap. This one gave me faith that TB can be good if they try. Haven’t dined in a TB in a long time because they all are not very clean or inviting. We got our current order to go but decided to stay and dine in because it was nice. Service was great and the food was amazing. Best Mexican Pizza I’ve had in a very long time. Found out new “must stop” when we come home to visit. Keep it up guys, be the example for all these other crappy TBs“

“First visit but it won’t be our last. Food was amazing, and the service was awesome!“

“This is the BEST Mexican restaurant in the region! Generous portions, fair prices and authentic choices that cater to a wide array of palates. Have gone here for several years now and never disappointed. The staff is always friendly and expeditious. Recently had a carne asada torta and tried their pozole rojo. The torta was massive and properly assembled. The steak was perfectly seasoned and grilled as always. Only regret not having gotten a lengua torta. Found out after ordering they recently put lengua back in rotation. The pozole was rich, flavorful and full of large cuts of tender pork. Enough for at least two meals worth. If you’ve never been, what are you waiting for?? Give this place a try“

“My girlfriend and I just had one of the best experiences here! Our waitress, Paola, was amazing. She made our experience 10x better. She was kind and super friendly. I asked for recommendations and she did not disappoint! If you ever come here, I’d say to request her if you can! Oh, and try the huckleberry frozen margarita and their house-made corn tortillas. 1000/10 experience and will definitely be coming back!“

“Gustavo’s Mexican Grill in Norton Commons continues to impress, and that includes keeping the place spotlessly clean! The food remains outstanding—fresh, bold flavors, and consistently delicious. Whether it's the sizzling fajitas, birria tacos, or their killer margaritas, everything hits the mark every time. The staff is excellent as always—friendly, attentive, quick, and genuinely welcoming. They make you feel right at home, even during busy times. On top of that, the cleanliness is top-tier. The restaurant is always very clean: floors spotless, tables wiped down promptly, and the whole space feels fresh and well-maintained. Reviewers often call it one of the cleanest Mexican spots around, and it's easy to see why—the vibe is inviting and comfortable from the moment you walk in. With the charming Norton Commons setting and that great patio option, it's perfect for any occasion. Gustavo’s delivers on every front—food, service, and a pristine environment. Easily five stars! 🌮✨“

“This place is amazing! The people are wonderfully friendly and always willing to help. I love the quality of the food and the authentic seasoning! 🇲🇽👏🏽“

“My husband told our server he’s been ordering burritos for over 40 years and this is probably the best he’s ever had. We both had a burrito & margaritas and it was fantastic. We can’t wait to go back.“

“My daughter and I went tonight for her birthday dinner. The service was great and the food was delicious and piping hot. It was a great experience all the way around. I will be going back. Thank you all so much 😊“

“Great food , great service, great people. This father son and company duo know how to run a phenomenal business. They know their customers by name and are always willing to give out samples. Everything I’ve ate there has been stellar and the flavor is consistent. Worth a visit from anyone living in southern Indiana.“

“I was in the area for work, and this place comes up on some lists for best burger, but they have other food including burritos. I ordered one, and they put what I wanted in it, and it rivals LaBamba's in Indianapolis for being as big as your head. You'll want a fork and knife to eat it.

It was delicious. Toppings were fresh and plentiful in variety and what they put in the burrito. I got the meal which comes with a side and drink. You could get a big bag of nachos or fries to go with it, and I went with fries. They can put salt, or several other flavors on them, and I chose cheese (I believe they call it queso) which was good, but wasn't what I would chose for fries. The drink is a rather large fountain drink, although they had run out of diet while I was there, so they gave me a 16oz bottle of Diet Coke.

Service was great. Both people working were friendly and helpful. I'm not 100% sure why this place gets so many 1 star ratings, but I saw no logical reason for them in my visit.

Since my work brings me to the area once every month or two, I'll have to drop by to try the burgers and nachos sometime later. Would highly recommend.

I did give Atmosphere 3 stars, but that was because their dining room was not open when I was there, and I sat in the mall area.“

“Great food and service“

“This place is so good and if you are wanting Honduran food, this is the place to go! I've tried the pastelitos, Pollo con tajadas, and pupusas and they are all so delicious! They're homemade salsa is amazing that they serve with chips! 100% recommend this restaurant!“

“I almost felt like I was in Mexico. The food tasted good. The tacos were 2.50 or 3.99 depending on what kind. We were told that they had the best tamales but we didn't even try them. My husband had chicken fajitas and I had a asada quesadilla plate. Our bill including a generous tip was less than $30. They had coke with real sugar, horchata, jarritos, and many other drinks. They had a kids menu and you could even get French Fries. The service was good despite the fact that the waitress was very overworked. She seemed to be the main translator for the men who worked there. In addition to being a restaurant it is also a tienda or store so you could buy lots of things that you wouldn't see in an typical Mexican restaurant. The booths were all carved and beautiful and the decor was definitely Mexican. There was outside dining but it was too hot out there and plenty of booths. They had a kids menu and booster chairs and it was a very good experience.“

“Love this place. Quick great food and nice service“

“Really great Mexican restaurant, the food and staff are top notch. We eat here about once a week as a family, we have always had a great experience. The yolandas are especially good as well as the carne asada tacos and big giant burritos (kiddo’s favorite). The prices are 2022 reasonable, and you really get a lot for your money. You wont leave with buyers remorse by any means. The local choices within driving range are plentiful for restaurants, Los Aztecas is always one of our favorites.“

“Always excellent food, fast service!“

“GREAT People always respectful and friendly“

“Anytime I want good tacos or a mulita, I go to Taqueria Hernandez! I discovered them several years ago at Thunder Over Louisville & have been ordering from them ever since. Don’t pass them by; you won’t be disappointed!“

“It was mostly empty, looked like just one worker and the boss there, no one else. It looked like they weren't expecting anyone and seemed surprised by my entrance, but I was able to place an order.

It felt like it took a while for the food to come out (I stopped by on a whim so I didn't have my phone on me, so I couldn't say how long it actually took though), but once it did I paid and took it home. I think there may have been a translation error, as I ordered an asada burrito and a chicken burrito, but I got a chicken burrito alongside some grilled meat and several small tortillas, rather than the meat inside a burrito. The chicken burrito was quite large, and overall the food was quite tasty, so I was satisfied either way.“

“I am so sorry people but I can sit there and tell you that this place for Mexican food is the Bomb. It's not spicy it's not too salty it is just good I love this place especially the mixture of the veggies with the meat together it's just awesome“

“The best food, drinks and people! We have become regulars here!“

“Absolutely fantastic ...friendly staff“

“Delicious 😋 great service“

“Look I eat fine dining and I’m not an alcoholic ok? But this place has the BEST margs, great food and very quick service like people should shadow this restaurant to learn how a great place operates. We come here at least twice a month and havent had a bad experience yet. Their birria tacos are SO GOOD“

“We had such an amazing time with Kristy as our server! She was on top of everything we needed and had such a positive attitude!! We were headed to a wedding and she had us out in plenty of time and we felt so much better when we left!! Thank you for such great service!!“

“Mark and the whole staff are amazingly friendly and great service!!! I wish everyone took care of people and had such Great service. I literally eat there 5-6 and even sometimes 7 !! Never a bad experience. They are Just absolutely Great!

“It’s been years since anyone has posted about this location. It has turned around. Number one customer service in the district.“

“Went on 4/3 National Burrito Day and even though the store was crazy busy we still received fast and friendly service. The store was running smoothly from a customer pov, no arguing or bickering between team members. All of the staff were extremely friendly and had smiles on their faces. And someone, that I believe to be the manager, was reassuring the waiting customers that they would be served shortly. Highly impressed with this store!“

“We usually have the same server and she is always on top of everything, keeping our drinks, chips & salsa refilled at all times. She gets my baby a high chair and applesauce to eat, crayons to color with before our food ever arrives which is so nice! Food always arrives quickly and so far every dish I’ve tried here is packed with so much fresh flavor. I have tried the white chicken chili with jalapeño cornbread, the chimichanga with rice & beans, the Tex Mex Melt with seasoned waffle fries and literally everything from the side of rice to the seasoned ground beef is so flavorful and absolutely delicious! When I go to Mexican restaurants that are not Tex Mex, they just don’t have the great flavors as they do here at Tumbleweed. Or only one or two things are good and everything else is bland tasting. But not here at tumbleweed. It doesn’t matter what you get, it’s all full of flavors!“
